We have talked a great deal about small scale versions of the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat recently, but for those Hellcat fans who prefer the 4-door variety – the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat will be offered as part of the new Hitch & Tow Racing Edition from Greenlight Collectables.

Based on the input from their buyers, Ford Motor Company is introducing a new STX trimline for the 2017 F150 and the Super Duty – a low cost package which adds premium styling features on the outside and a premium infotainment system on the inside.

Every year at Pebble Beach, the Monterey Car Week takes place with various events such as the Concours d'Elegance. But it has also become a place where luxury automakers introduce new vehicles and concepts.
